I don't think PC is trying to help us with this picture problem. I can't be certain, but I think the problems are in the ATTACH FILES TO THIS POST way of posting. They either don't know how to fix their own problem (this is the only place I go on the internet and can't see pictures and I have NO problem in my emails)! You can't even see the pictures anymore when you do post them to try to ENLARGE them. You can't see the picture in the main post and when you ENLARGE, they are smaller and/or that frame won't open up at all!!!

If you are posting and your pictures are still showing up, WHAT SITE ARE YOU USING AND/OR HOW ARE YOU POSTING YOUR PICTURES? Please be descriptive. Some of us are ready to try something else.

I hope some of you are willing to help the rest of us out!!

I am assuming you mean how are we putting the pictures in the text of messages rather than uploading and attaching the files?

First, your picture needs to have a unique URL or address and you need to copy this address. The easiest way is to have published your picture to a blog where each image is given its own address. Second, decide where in the post you want your picture. Click on the button above your post that looks like mountains with the sun above them. Paste your picture's address. Give it a description if you like. It should display in your post.

I was wondering if they aren't fixing this problem because the do not want to store all these pictures anymore. The attach files required you to upload your picture to their site and perhaps they just don't want to handle all this data anymore.

First, I want to say if this is the only site you visit on the net for crafting you are missing out on 99.99% of what the crafting world has to offer; and, you are getting a very narrow picture of PC and Cricut created projects, user inspirations, concerns and problems......... Very few crafters will post here because of PC's policies; and, you are missing out on a world of fantastic creations!

That being said, I have no problem posting from my blog or uploading from my computer any picture as long as i take the time to resize the photo if I am uploading from my computer........why the extra step in resizing??? Because i dont want people to have to go to the trouble of downloading a file when its easier for people to just view the photo in a post if it's been resized. I am having no trouble viewing pics here 90% of the time. I have tried 5 browsers; and, I have had success with all 5, and a few intermittent errors due to paths in the MB software being configured incorrectly. I have a Mac, PC, IPad, and Android phone....... it is not an issue with my software.......the error is on the server side.

The problem that currently exists is on PC's side....... and it's obvious they can't/won't/don't care to fix it....... My suggestion is that you begin to see what the rest of the crafting word is doing out there....... You will be amazed at all the beautiful creations you have been missing. The 2 sites i posted yesterday, 2Peas and SCS are both secure (if that's what you are worried about) and both have stellar galleries that 1000s of crafters have visited daily for years!

I really think you are beating a dead horse....... Major problems haven't been addressed; and, have gone unsolved for years! Why sweat the small stuff when there are so many other places to see truly inspiring creations?

Nope, that didn't work. Can't post using "attach files"

Strange because I did it yesterday on another thread

Some days, I can't view pictures either

It is really the luck of the draw so to speak.

Sometimes you log in and they are there.
Sometimes you log in and they are not.

I found that if I can not see the attachment pics of others then I will not be able to attach my own at that time.

If I want to post a pic I close my browser and try again and again and again and again.
You get the idea...
One time it took 6 tries and another it took 4 and then sometimes I just gave up.

I sent an email on this issue to both support@cricut.com and support@provocraft.com late last night.
I know others have called (Can't call because I'm on day 10 of having no voice)

Yep, I noticed this, too. So far though I have always been able to insert images hosted on my blog using the insert image button.

What is their point to not let us know they want to change this? I really think they are once again "shooting themselves in the foot" to not be open and let us know what they want from us. That's all I want....just be up front so I know whether I want to change how I like to attach my pics to an outside host. They haven't told us. Supposed I do go to Photobucket; then, PC makes their changes and FIXES something they intend to keep? We have no way of knowing.

I know, I've made a big thing of it. I'm toning it down.

I went to the other two sites you suggested today. BUT, I much prefer to come here. I don't really want to go a lot of other places. I JUST WANT OUR OLD MB BACK THAT I STARTED ON HERE IN 2008! LOL. I loved it; and, it seems there has been a multitude of problems since they changed over to the servers when the CIRCLE began and the old MB moved here, too.

As I've said before; I'm kind of old-fashioned. I had to deal with change everyday in the workplace during my working career.....it kind of bugged me then, too. You just get on to something and everything gets changed. I LOVE CONSISTENCY. I WOULD LOVE IF PC WOULD SHARE WITH US IF THEY WANT TO GO ANOTHER ROUTE ON POSTING PICS. I would respect that. I don't respect it if that's what they are doing and they do all this pussy-footing around to get it accomplished. Just tell us what's going on.

Thanks for the input! Nice project, too! - Char
